I Have A Sword

Chapter 961: Withered

Chapter 961: Withered

Seeing that Ye Guan seemed like he couldn't be bothered to dodge, Cang He frowned deeply, and a sense of unease rose in his heart. However, the arrow had already left its bow, and there was no turning back. He had no choice but to summon all his strength and deliver a killing blow with the Qingxuan Sword.

However, the Qingxuan Sword suddenly trembled, and its power vanished without a trace.

Cang He was shocked. Before he could retreat, the space around him transformed into spacetime grids. He was ten inundated by a myriad of sword lights.

Boom!

The surroundings instantly became a sea of blood-red swords.

The Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God's eyes widened, and their hearts jumped to their throats.

Hum!

A resonant sword hum echoed from within the sea of swords.

The sea of swords then scattered, revealing both Ye Guan and Cang He.

The Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God instantly turned as white as a sheet of paper!

The Qingxuan Sword was lodged between Cang He's brows!

Cang He's eyes were also as wide as saucers, and his face was filled with disbelief. He opened his mouth to speak, but the Qingxuan Sword vibrated violently and absorbed his soul.

His soul was utterly obliterated!

The Qingxuan Sword's aura surged wildly upon devouring Cang He's soul.

Ye Guan reached out to grasp the sword, and he could feel the sword's excitement. The Qingxuan Sword fed on souls, and the stronger the soul, the stronger it would become. It had been starving all this while, so it was truly delighted by this once-in-a-blue-moon feast.

Ye Guan turned to the Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God. Their faces immediately changed, but Ye Guan's target wasn't them. Instead, he charged toward Tianxing Life World.

The Mirror Goddess hurriedly shouted, "Stop him!"

With that, she transformed into a streak of flame, blocking Ye Guan's path.

The Talisman God followed closely behind. Although both of them feared the Qingxuan Sword, they were more afraid of the possibility that Ye Guan would reach the Tianxing Life World and threaten the Tianxing Life Tree!

Without hesitation, Ye Guan swung his sword at the two figures in his way.

Boom!

A kaleidoscope of sword lights erupted, sending both the Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God flying away. Shockingly, their fleshly bodies disintegrated into pieces in midair!

Ye Guan had three bloodlines supporting him, and his Mad Demon Bloodline and the Mortal Bloodline were growing increasingly stronger as time ticked by.

The Qingxuan Sword in his hand was becoming more powerful as well!

The Qingxuan Sword had no upper limit, but its power depended on its wielder, so there was a limit to it, especially in Ye Guan's hands.

Fortunately, Ye Guan was not slacking in his training at all.

Instead of charging into the Tianxing Life World once again, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of sword light and rushed straight at the Mirror Goddess and the Talisman God.

His killing intent manifested into a towering tsunami! Ye Guan's desire to kill had become overwhelming, and the remnants of his rationality were rapidly fading away.

Seeing Ye Guan coming at them with his sword, their expressions changed dramatically. Without their divine treasures and fleshly bodies, how could they possibly withstand this strike? Their faces turned ashen.

Just then, a flaming spear shot down from the sky, tearing open a massive rift in the heavens that stretched tens of thousands of meters.

The spear's target was Ye Guan, but Yi Nian was behind him, so he had no choice but to stop. In one swift motion, Ye Guan turned swiftly and slashed down fiercely.

Boom!

The flaming spear exploded into tiny fragments of flames. Before Ye Guan could catch his breath, however, another spear flew toward him.

Boom!

The sword light shattered, and Ye Guan was thrown back tens of thousands of meters away. He had barely landed when another spear was flying toward him.

Boom!

He was forced to retreat once again. This time, however, the spear thrower did not even wait for him to land. They threw their spear at him while he was in midair.

Ye Guan roared in fury. The spacetime trembled violently and morphed into strange, grid-like structures. The next moment, a myriad of sword lights erupted from the spacetime grids.

Boom!

The spears shattered and disintegrated into fragments upon getting engulfed by the bizarre spacetime.

Shockingly, however, a figure barged into it. Then, a spear filled with immense power pierced the sword lights and headed straight for Ye Guan.

Ye Guan thrust the Qingxuan Sword forward.

Bam!

The spear could not withstand the might of the Qingxuan Sword and shattered into pieces. However, Ye Guan himself was also knocked backward by the force of the impact.

The person attacking him was a tall woman in white armor, with a silver helmet on her head and sharp, killing intent in her phoenix-like eyes. It was Guardian Duo Yan!

She didn't stop after forcing Ye Guan back. She took a step forward, and in an instant, she was already in front of him once more with a spear in hand. The next moment, thousands of fiery spear lights surged toward him.

It was a powerful flurry of attacks!

With no way to retreat, Ye Guan activated the power of his bloodlines. A Bloodline Divine Statue appeared behind him, and the Qingxuan Sword was in its hand.

The divine statue swung fiercely, obliterating the fiery spear.

The impact blasted Duo Yan tens of thousands of meters away.

Ye Guan roared, and the Bloodline Divine Statue behind him slashed down again. The sword descended, and the heaven and earth seemed to be collapsing beneath its might. When the sword landed, a massive gash stretching thousands of meters was made.

Facing this terrifying strike, Duo Yan did not retreat. Her figure trembled as she transformed into a fiery beam of spear light that shot into the sky. She had chosen to confront him head-on!

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out as the spear light exploded, scattering like fireworks. At that very moment, however, a strange aura swept toward Ye Guan from behind.

Ye Guan turned around and saw a cold saber light hurtling toward his Bloodline Divine Statue.

Bam!

The Bloodline Divine Statue shuddered violently and cracked open. Almost at the same time, a fiery sword descended from up above, piercing the statue.

Boom!

The Bloodline Divine Statue couldn't withstand the consecutive attacks, and it ended up shattering. Instead of dissipating, however, the statue's blood energy flowed back into Ye Guan.

There were now two ladies on Ye Guan's flanks; one was wielding a long saber while the other was wielding a longsword. These two ladies bore an uncanny resemblance to Duo Yan.

There was not only one Guardian but three—Duo Yan, Duo Ling, and Duo Qi.

The three of them formed a triangle around him, and more powerful auras began converging from all around. The strong fighters from the Tianxing Civilization were growing in numbers, and those arriving were getting increasingly formidable.

Ye Guan closed his eyes, and the blood energy boiled furiously. His killing intent was getting stronger, but he was still suppressing it. He couldn't allow himself to go completely mad or enter a state of perfect divinity just yet.

Duo Yan, the leader of the Guardians, commanded, "Kill him."

Duo Yan transformed into a spear light and disappeared from where she stood.

At the same time, Duo Ling and Duo Qi vanished as well. They were deeply connected, as they were born from fruits of the same vine; they were also disciples of High Goddess Tianxuan, so their teamwork was extraordinary.

Ye Guan's Qingxuan Sword was powerful, but they were not afraid of it.

Just then, Ye Guan's eyes opened, and he swung his sword.

The attack generated no sound.

The space around the three Guardians crumbled like burning paper, quickly turning to ashes. Their eyes narrowed, realizing that their attack had silently disappeared. The most terrifying part was that their lifespan had been reduced by thirty million years.

Thirty million years!

However, Ye Guan didn't stop. He swung his sword three more times.

Everything around him withered, and the three ladies lost ninety million years of their lifespan.

The Tianxing Civilization was a Tier Five Civilization with denizens whose lifespans were far beyond ordinary beings, but they were not immortal.

With these three sword strikes, Ye Guan had slashed away ninety million years' worth of lifespan. Despite their strength and long lifespan, fear gripped the three Guardians' hearts, and they retreated frantically.

The space around Ye Guan had withered completely, transforming into a pitch-black void.

Three sword strikes were all it took to do so!

The three Guardians gazed at Ye Guan from afar with shock in their eyes.

They had fought against other powerful beings from other civilizations before but rarely had anyone been able to pose a threat to them.

Due to the suppression of civilizations and the disparity in strength, the martial power and divine artifacts from low-tier civilizations were usually insignificant in their eyes.

However, Ye Guan had flipped their worldview. Every attack from him so far was strong enough to threaten them. His bloodline power, his sword, those mysterious spacetime grids, and his peculiar sword techniques—they were all dangerous.

Truth be told, they had long realized that the young swordsman was by no means an ordinary person from a low-tier civilization. At this point, however, the intensity of the battle had escalated to a point where such distinctions no longer mattered. They needed to focus on the fight before anything else.

While they were still in shock, Ye Guan took to the sky. The Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, and a sword light slashed across the battlefield, ripping through space and charging straight toward the Tianxing Life World.

Duo Yan immediately paled. Without hesitation, the three of them rushed toward the Tianxing Life World. Halfway there, they all stopped and gazed into the distance with a strange look.

Then, they revealed relieved looks as if they had seen something reassuring.
